New Gans 356 cube!

Uhh, how do I separate the corner piece? I've unscrewed the white part already but the top part is not easy to remove...

1.put the white piece in
2.put the screw in the white piece.
3. Push the screw.
If you don't understand watch the cubeologist's video called "Correction about the Gans 356".
 
How does tensioning the individual pieces work? Does it affect the performance?
It does. It changes the feel and stability a bit. I prefer not tensioning the pieces because I dislike the new feel but most others are fine with it

Yea, my 356 started to feel a bit less catchy after I loosened up the corners a little.
 
Has anyone tried the other springs yet? I'm becoming more used to the cube and the unstable flimsy feeling doesn't bother me as much anymore, but I'd still be interested if different springs(harder ones I'd guess) would improve the cube.

Btw I've been experiencing something strange: From time to time, the sound of the cube will suddenly change. The feel stays almost the same, but out of nowhere it sounds louder or dryer. Later it'll go back again. Has anyone had the same experience? I'd guess that it's because I loosened the corner screws, and sometimes they might snap back into their original position. Anyway it's really weird.

i have tried with the stiffest/hardest springs and for me it is much more enjoyable. the cube is slower although I like that as it suits my rough turning style. corner cutting is the same and does not affect catching. the cube holds its shape and isn't flimsy anymore. I would definitely recommend trying it out, with the octopus core, its really easy to change the springs out.
